Description Of This Tour

The climate crisis is escalating, and we’re told the solution is to electrify our heating, insulate our homes, and install solar panels on our roofs. But what does this future look like? Join local architect Chris Allen for a tour through two recently completed net-zero homes nestled below Giant’s Head Mountain. The tour will start at Powell Beach in Trout Creek, for a walk through a beach house organised around a series of courtyards, and then move up the slope to Giant’s Head Road, where a hillside home shelters from the sun, but opens to the view. Biscotti and coffee from Giant’s Head Kitchen will round out the discussion.

Tour Leader: Chris Allen

Please be prepared for all sorts of weather – hot, sunny, windy, cold and rain too!
